Kyi-Leo is a breed that can weigh under 10 pounds when fully grown, but is more likely to weigh around the 14 pounds mark as a fully grown adult dog. This breed is good with children, but is not so easy to house train.

English Toy Spaniel is another breed in this size category that is good with kids, however it is not a low shedding breed and will be reserved around strangers.

Australian Terrier will weigh between 11 and 14 pounds when fully grown, it can be problematic around other dogs and small pets like cats unless raised with them.

Japanese Spitz will make a top watchdog, however this is a high shedding breed. You are going to have to invest in a good pet hair vacuum cleaner if you choose to go with this breed of dog.

Coton De Tulear is a low shedding small dog breed that is good with children. It is fairly easy to house train although is not the cleverest small dog in the world.

Lancashire Healer is a breed that could weigh under 10 pounds when fully grown, it is more likely to weigh around the 13 pound mark. This dog has high energy levels and will need regular daily exercise.

Border Terrier is a lovely little dog that will hardly shed any fur at all. These small dogs make really good little watchdogs.

Miniature Dachshund is good with children and makes a good watchdog. The long haired version will need daily grooming and is considered high maintenance in this area.

Miniature Pinscher will weigh between 9 and 11 pounds as a fully grown adult and is good with kids but not to be trusted around small animals like cats and hamsters.

Brussels Griffon is another short nosed small dog breed that will have breathing difficulties in hot weather conditions. This is another small dog breed that is good with children and low shedding.
